“Acadiana truly embraced the spirit of giving during our food and supply drive for Hurricane Laura, and we are eager to help those who were impacted by Hurricane Delta in the same way,” said Carlee Alm-LaBar, President/CEO of United Way of Acadiana. “It is truly spectacular to see our community continuously come together after disasters to help those in need.”

John Dziurgot, Chief Operating Officer at Second Harvest, added, “60,402 lbs of food and supplies were donated through the Hurricane Laura drive and has already been distributed to affected areas. We are hopeful that this drive will yield the same outstanding results.”

Waitr has once again partnered to provide donors with a free delivery flyer, which will be distributed at Second Harvest upon receipt of donation. In addition, those who donate through United Way’s relief fund at www.unitedwayofacadiana.org/hurricanedelta will receive an email containing the promotion.
